Dr. Ashok K. Chauhan
Chairman, AKC Group of Companies
Founder President, Ritnand Balved Education Foundation


As an immensely successful entrepreneur in Europe for over three decades, Dr. Chauhan realized that Indians have the intelligence, the talent and the potential to be the most successful people in the world. If one can take tens of thousands of talented youngsters and give them global level professional education whilst imbibing in them an unwavering patriotism for their Country, there is no reason why Indians will not spread across the world and ensure that India becomes a Superpower by 2030. With this in mind, he founded the non-profit Ritnand Balved Education Foundation in 1986 and brought together some of the best scientific, academic and corporate resources to march towards his dream. Today, he is the proud founder of some of the best institutes in the country that are grooming young future leaders to be complete, value-driven human beings and competent professionals with a deep passion for the country.

Amity has been ranked the No.1 pvt. institute for Management Education in India three years in a row by Outlook and in South Asia by Asia Inc., published from Singapore.

 For Army Personnel

ASoDL has helped me to continue with my studies and has enhanced my management skills despite my frequent postings. "ASoDL Professional Studies Programmes are highly practical for Army Officers who aspire for a professional career after service. Extended validity period and easy study material allowed me to pursue my studies irrespective of frequently changed postings."

Lt. Col. Sandeep Bhardwaj,

 For Bureaucrats

ASoDL has given me a better perspective of the changing management environment of governance in India. In today's performance driven working environment, even Public Sector organisations are changing rapidly. They demand the same amount of skills and competence levels, that a corporate requires. ASoDL helped me gain a better perspective of the changing environment. It raised my performance level manifolds and put me in a leadership position to take up new challenges easily."

 For Entertainment Industry Professionals

Distance Learning was the only way I could have pursued higher education along with my demanding career. "The glamour industry is highly demanding. Frequent traveling, long shifts and work commitment hardly gives me time to pursue regular studies. Thanks to ASoDL, I completed my studies while following a tight schedule."

Ms. Divya Chauhan
Former Femina Miss India, Asia Pacific (1997)

 For Doctors

At senior positions in my profession, it is as important to be a good manager as being a good doctor. "After the entry of corporates in the Medical field, the matrix of the industry has changed. Today to be a successful medical practitioner requires good management skills too. ASoDL helped me learn that."

Dr. Harsha Jauhari,
